She's dedicated her life to ending violence. But has she moved too deep into a treacherous world?

Suspecting a serial killer, Avery joins forces with medical examiner Jackson Bryant to solve the crimes and prevent another murder. As they venture deep into a sinister criminal world, Avery and Jackson are taken to the very edge of their abilities--and their hearts.
Dangerous Passage exposes a fully realized and frightening world where every layer peeled back reveals more challenges ahead. You'll be hooked from the start.

My thoughts:
Dangerous Passage is the first book I've read by Lisa Harris and, while I didn't enjoy it as much as I had anticipated, I did like the book as a whole and really enjoyed the last third.
I liked the characters and it was nice how Avery and Jackson were already dating, so it didn't seem like an insta-romance. There were some surprises in Dangerous Passage, and I was particularly surprised by one thing but, to avoid spoilers, I won't say what it was.
The only real negative I had was that the story seemed a little slow at times. I could easily put the book down and not feel a desire to continue reading.
Still, Dangerous Passage was a good read and I especially enjoyed the last 100 or so pages. I don't think it's a book I'll reread, but I do plan on reading the next book in this series. If you enjoy romantic suspense, you might also like Dangerous Passage.
